ClinConnect Summary

This study is an open label, multicenter study with two phases:

The Phase IB part of the study is a dose escalation study of lenalidomide (Revlimid) administered orally during on 3 weeks of every 28-day cycle, in combination with fixed doses of obinutuzumab (GA101) in relapsed/refractory follicular lymphoma patients.

The Phase II part of the study is an efficacy study of the association of the recommended dose of lenalidomide associated with GA101 in 2 separate populations of patients: relapsed/refractory aggressive lymphoma (diffuse large B-cell lymphoma and mantle cell lymphoma: cohort ...

• * Phase IB and II:
• • Relapsed/refractory NHL after ≥1 prior R-containing regimen with no curative option (cohort 2 only)
• • Aged 18 years or more
• • ECOG performance status 0, 1 or 2
• • At least one bi-dimensionally measurable nodal or tumor lesion defined by CT scan as: greatest transverse diameter \> 1.5 cm and a short axis ≥ 10mm
• • Signed inform consent
• • Life expectancy ≥ 3 months.
• • All subjects must be able to understand and fulfill the lenalidomide Pregnancy Prevention Plan requirements (see in appendix)
• • Females of childbearing potential (FCBP) must agree to use two reliable forms of contraception simultaneously or to practice complete abstinence from heterosexual contact during the following time periods related to this study: 1) for at least 28 days before starting study drug; 2) while participating in the study; 3) dose interruptions; and 4) for at least 2 months after discontinuation of all study treatments.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • Previous treatment with obinutuzumab or lenalidomide
• • Known CD20 negative status at relapse/progression. Biopsy at relapse/progression is recommended but not mandatory
• • Central nervous system or meningeal involvement by lymphoma

• • Any serious active disease or co-morbid medical condition (such as New York Heart Association Class II or IV cardiac disease, severe arrhythmia, myocardial infarction within the last 6 months, unstable arrhythmias, or unstable angina) or pulmonary disease (including obstructive pulmonary disease and history of bronchospasm or other according to investigator's decision)
• * Any of the following laboratory abnormalities unless secondary to underlying lymphoma:
• • Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) \< 1,500 cells/mm3 (1.5 x 109/L).
• • Platelet count \< 100,000/mm3 (100 x 109/L) unless due to lymphoma for phase II part.
• • Serum SGOT/AST or SGPT/ALT 3.0 x upper limit of normal (ULN) unless disease involvement.

• • Prior history of malignancies other than lymphoma unless the subject has been free of the disease for ≥ 5 years
• • Any serious medical condition, laboratory abnormality (other than mentioned above), or psychiatric illness that would prevent the subject from signing the informed consent form.
• • Pregnant or lactating females.
• • Prior ≥ Grade 3 allergic reaction/hypersensitivity to thalidomide.
• • Prior ≥ Grade 3 rash or any desquamating (blistering) rash while taking thalidomide.

• • Use of any standard or experimental anti-cancer drug therapy within 28 days of the initiation (Day 1) of study drug therapy
• • Patients taking corticosteroids during 4 weeks before inclusion, unless administered at a dose equivalent to ≤ 10 mg/day prednisone (over these 4 weeks)
• • Prior history of Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML)
